Chapter 18: Testimony

Chapter 18 Testimony After all, Zhixucheng is Bayingshan's territory. If he really wants to do it, he won't be able to hide some superficial disturbances from him. After receiving the news, he immediately went to the guest room, saw Qi Yueru, and told Qi Yueru the situation face to face, "It's confirmed, we will go out today. It won't be long before the goods in Bowang Tower are sorted and we will go out with him." After hearing the first half, Qi Yueru was about to leave immediately. As soon as the second half came out, he was stunned and asked: "What do you mean, why did you get involved in Bowang Tower?" Bayingshan didn't think there was any problem, "They went to Bowang Tower. Maybe they mentioned going out. The delivery team from Bowang Tower will take them with them." Qi Yueru became angry instantly, "With people from Bowang Tower protecting me, how can I do anything after we get out? No, you have to find a way to detain them both!" Bayingshan was a little angry when he heard that, "Who do those two boys think they are? It's my turn to do something here? If I arrest them, won't I arouse people's suspicion? Are you looking for trouble? People are out, and you have a lot of money." There is plenty of time and there are ways to slowly deal with them. You can deal with them however you want. Now that the 'cell bosses' are here and they are obviously suspicious of the dragon bone, how can I do whatever I want?" Qi Yueru asked back: "If they don't have any evil intentions in their hearts, why do they seek refuge in Bowang Tower? The world outside is huge and there are many obstacles. Once they take advantage of this opportunity and slip away, where can I find them?" This is her true thought. She feels more and more suspicious about the local snake in Dongjiuyuan. If there is really a problem, she has already made a plan to seek refuge in Bowang Tower. She must have planned an escape method. This is something she will never tolerate and must not leave. This leak made people run away. Bayingshan said unceremoniously: "How you find them after you go out is your business. I have helped you both who should and should not be helped. In short, it is absolutely impossible to arrest them here. I tell you, you must not do anything else here." If something extraneous happens, you should get out immediately. If you have any grievances, you can resolve them however you want after you get out." Seeing that he was really angry and serious, Qi Yueru was silent for a moment. After his thoughts changed sharply, he suddenly asked: "What if the murderer of my son is really them?"

Ba Yingshan said disdainfully: "Whether it is all your business or not. I told you, after you get out, you can take revenge however you want." It was obvious that the follow-up had nothing to do with him. Qi Yueru approached him, looked at him with stern eyes, and said: "If the murderers were really them, why did they leave the treasures at the scene and not take them away? Is it to get rid of their own suspicion? My son, they have already offended them, It's the same more or less, but they are abandoning such a precious treasure. What are they afraid of? I can't guarantee that my brother was not found out anything that should not be said before he died. " Bayingshan's brows twitched and he said coldly: "What shouldn't be said? It's far-fetched, don't do this!" Qi Yueru: "If you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're just afraid of the worst. Is City Lord Ba really willing to gamble his own fortune with such a little bastard? The safest way is to get a hundred in my hands as soon as possible. In this way, don't worry, I, the Qi family, are also relieved. You also know that the 'cell bosses' have become suspicious, and any rumor that spreads out may be a disaster for you. City Lord Ba, any possible loopholes must be plugged in time. !” Bayingshan frowned, his face seemed a little moved, but it was more concerned. After observing the situation, Qi Yueru added more fire, "City Lord Ba's concerns are not unreasonable. It is really inappropriate to arrest people here, but we can make some changes and find a reason to temporarily arrest them until Bowang Tower comes out." After the cargo team has left, we can just expel the people due to misunderstanding or some other reason, and there won’t be any trouble. In Zhixu City, for such a trivial matter, City Lord Ba should have a solution, right?" The Qi family was able to send her here to join them, not only because it was legitimate to visit their son and younger brother in prison, but more importantly because she had certain adaptability. Ba Yingshan's eyes flickered, and he turned and left without saying anything. Qi Yueru watched with a smile on her face, but then she thought of her deceased son, and she couldn't hide her sadness... In the blacksmith shop where sparks were tinkling, a shirtless and bearded man commanded several apprentices to work. Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang came in to say hello and to say goodbye. They were leaving to meet their old acquaintances. Hello. Their weapons were also forged here. The blacksmith shop is at the end of the row of facades of Bowang Tower, and it also belongs to Bowang Tower. It can be regarded as meeting the needs of the people in the place of exile. Shi Chun really said hello and left. He wanted to go to the main entrance of Bowang Tower to see if Miss Miao really didn't come. The landlady obviously didn't like him getting involved with her daughter, so she might have deceived him. Wu Jinliang didn't want to go with him, so he excused himself to stay in the blacksmith shop and talk nonsense with the blacksmith with a beard, because he didn't want to see the face of the landlady anymore. A row of shops are divided into different categories, and there are customers at every door. Various people send various items for valuation, mostly strange stones or minerals. After selling, what you get is an amount written on a piece of paper. With the money on the paper, You can buy things in Bowang Tower by counting the money, and the change you get back is also the rewritten amount. This amount cannot be taken out of the city. As long as you walk out of the city gate, the numbers on the paper will disappear. Therefore, before leaving, you will register it in your name in Zhixu City. This is the so-called accumulation of "merits". If you want to come next time You can use it or take it out without deducting it. There are also many people who will never come back due to various accidents, and there are many such accidents in the places of exile, and then those ownerless money will naturally belong to Zhixucheng. The main lobby of the building is a place dedicated to selling items. There are slightly fewer customers coming in and out, much less than those selling things.

There were a lot of account books piled on the long desk in the corner of the hall. A young man was sitting behind the desk, biting the tip of a pen and making accounts. After writing and drawing, he was about to put down the pen when he suddenly exclaimed and found that there was no place to start writing. After looking everywhere on the desk, he scratched his head in confusion, "Where is the pen holder? Where did the pen holder go?" Shi Chun, who was walking towards him, looked at him with amusement, because he knew the young man and was quite familiar with him. The young man was an apprentice at Bowang Tower. I don’t know his origins, but he joined Bowang Tower as an apprentice at a young age. He is quite handsome, but his brain sometimes seems not very bright. Shi Chun has already seen where the pen holder is. Isn't it sitting on the pile of account books? Most likely, the young man put it there himself. He was so close in front of him that he just couldn't find it. Shi Chun was about to give a joking reminder when he suddenly saw the young man bit his mouth with a horizontal pen, took a piece of paper with his free hand, and repeatedly folded it into multiple "chuan" shapes. Putting it on the table, he took the pen off his lips and placed it on Wali's paper, and then continued to look through the account books. A piece of paper, which was originally soft and weak, was folded casually a few times and folded into a groove shape. In an instant, the bearing capacity was different, and it was able to hold a pen firmly. This scene made Shi Chun feel as if he had been struck by lightning. He paused on the spot and stared blankly at the piece of paper that could withstand force after changing its form. The scene of being immobilized by the amulet that night also came to mind. The existence of that ethereal green substance is originally invisible to humans, but after the luminous roots released from the amulet gather it together, its presence is immediately revealed. It is very magical. . After that night, he often wondered what was going on, because the image of the holding talisman he saw with his right eye gave him a way forward after going out. I have always been unable to understand something. At this moment, when I saw this piece of paper and set up my pen, I suddenly woke up as if it touched my soul. "Chaos..." He muttered again what Shen Youkun confessed, and vaguely realized a problem. Could it be that the bizarre scene he saw with his right eye was the world of chaos? Could it be that the chaotic world has always existed, but it is just invisible under normal circumstances? If you want to feel the existence of various substances in the chaotic world, don't you just need to find the right medium? The young man who was flipping through the account books accidentally looked up and saw him looking stupid in front of him. He said hello, "Chunchun, Sister Miao didn't come this time." As he spoke, he took a pen and continued writing and drawing. Sometimes he put down his pen, sometimes he wrote and drew. After writing a few pages, when he looked up again, he found that Shi Chun was still there in a daze. He felt strange, put down his pen and went around, and wandered in front of Shi Chun. Shaking his palms, "Chunchun, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable when Sister Miao is not here?" "Huh?" Shi Chun came to his senses and asked, "Didn't Miss Miao come to take charge of Xu Cheng?" The young man shook his head and was about to say something when a shout suddenly came from outside, "What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?" There was a commotion, and the voice sounded like Wu Jinliang's. Shi Chun looked back and saw that the scene outside the door had been blocked by people coming in and out. It was a natural tendency to watch the excitement. The next moment, the voice shouted again, "Spring, help!" Is it really Wu Jinliang? Shi Chun's expression changed, and he quickly dodged over. He jumped over everyone's heads and landed on the steps outside. He saw that Wu Jinliang had been captured by several armor-clad Xucheng guards, with his arms pinned. , press the neck. Shi Chun said in a deep voice: "What's going on?" Wu Jinliang, who struggled to raise his head, said anxiously: "I don't know. When I got here and was about to go in, he suddenly came over to grab me." As soon as he finished speaking, a dirty man wearing a rag suddenly squeezed out from among the guards in armor. It looked like he was not a city guard. He pointed at Wu Jinliang and shouted: "That's him, he just hit me on purpose." After a while, my things disappeared, so he must have stolen my things." As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the onlookers. In this city, besides not being allowed to do anything, they were also not allowed to steal. Otherwise, the consequences would be serious. The guards here would not think that their lives were precious. Shi Chun's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and he stared at Wu Jinliang in disbelief. He naturally knew that Wu Jinliang's hands and feet would not be so pure. In fact, there were a few people in this place of exile whose hands and feet were clean, and any of them could be fished out. Fishing, but this is all going out, why do you need to do so much? Wu Jinliang immediately yelled at the man, "Who the hell are you? When did grandpa hit you?" Shi Chun, whose mind was spinning rapidly, was about to speak out to help Wu Jinliang, but the man wearing a rag suddenly pointed at him, "And him, I remember very clearly, they are in the same group." As soon as these words came out, Shi Chun's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he instantly realized something was wrong. If he only bit Wu Jinliang, he would still be a little suspicious of Wu Jinliang. Now that he has bitten him, he naturally knows whether he has stolen anything, and he is a bit suspicious of Wu Jinliang. Wu Jinliang didn't see anyone colliding with each other when they were together. (End of this chapter)
